Job Description

About the Project:

The Relational State Capacity (RSC) Hub at Indus Action is a new, interdisciplinary programme of work that seeks to renew our focus and revitalise our conceptual approach to an essential yet often residual component of state capacity: the character and quality of relationships between citizens and public servants. RSC is a collective capacity to achieve welfare outcomes that emerges from the everyday interactions between citizens and agents of the State. RSC is a component of State Capacity more broadly, and complements other aspects of State Capacity such as its resources or technical knowledge. We believe we will better be able to understand and build the state's capacity to make citizens' lives better if we conceive of capacity as in part a function of the relationship (and relational contract) between citizens and state agents. We are hiring for two positions to help us build out and develop the research and practice agenda for the Hub.


Main Duties and Responsibilities:


  • Design and implement field-studies, including the supervision of data collection, travel to field-sites, survey design, data organization and analysis

  • Literature reviews and synthesis for the RSC Hub

  • Stakeholder management and communication, such as convening meetings between government partners and the project team

  • Organize conference events to share research findings and developments with scholars, policy and development practitioners, and other experts in the field

  • Grow the epistemic community through engagement in the form of project updates, presentations, and interviews with both academics and practitioners with interest in the concept of RSC and its implementation.

  • Manage and mentor a team of researchers.


Requirements


Education and Experience:


Work Experience: 5-7 years of experience in a similar role in a related field required.


Educational Qualification:

Master’s in Public Policy / Public Administration / Political Science / Economics / Sociology / Development Studies or similar fields with significant quantitative training required.

  • Stakeholder management to maintain relationships with government collaborators, funding partners, survey agencies, etc.

  • Strong organizational skills for coordinating project team outputs, as well as liaising and working with external resources and partner teams

  • Skills in writing grant proposals/RFPs and research/academic publications

  • Prior experience of end-to-end project management in research or government settings

  • Experience in field-based data collection in India
